Guest guest Posted May 21, 2001 Report Share Posted May 21, 2001 Hi Kent, Welcome back. Sorry to hear about your dog, what a bummer to return to that. Your vacation sounds wonderful and relaxing...which is a feat when kids are along for the trip! I can relate to your comment about Ben: > It was really cool to see how much proggress Ben had made from last year to this >year when we compared how Ben behaved during this vacation with his >behavior at last year's Ocracoke vacation. I find that summertime is the time when I usually assess the overall progress has made. This weekend we were in the backyard and I was doing a few things and realized that and Grace were both playing on the swingset, and I wasn't chasing anyone! In the past, they always had to have my full attention when we went outside. Every summer I realize it does get easier...and I'm so glad to be able to appreciate those moments. R.

How long did it take for the swelling, etc. to go down? How much PAIN??? How much did you lose from the surgeries themselves? Are you going to send a new picture to Tricia please???? I'm back > Hi!

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2002 Report Share Posted June 26, 2002 , Although I don't remember having diziness from watching a movie, I have had the car sickness and the general sense of diziness that you mention. Certainly you should ask your doctor about it. It very well could have been due to altitude. It could be from medicine if you are using eardrops, or any allergy meds that affect sinus/eustachian tube pressure. In general, I get lightheaded easily from lack of sleep or food, and I believe I am a little hypersensitive to it b/c of the ear surgeries I've had. Also, I believe we get used to it and your sense of balance will return, even if you still experience mild diziness. Hope that helps.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2002 Report Share Posted June 26, 2002 Hi Disco- Thanks for the info. I wish I could blame it on the altitude, but I live in Denver, CO which is higher than Salt Lake City - Oh Well. The only thing that I can think of is that this resulted from the radical mastoidectomy I had in May, '01. We really haven't done any traveling since then. It could be that I am more sensitive now as a result of how extensive that surgery was. The surgery I had this year in May was my fifth and wasn't really major, but maybe things get worse each time they are in there. Anyway, maybe the dizziness will stop someday. Thanks again! - > > Hi All, > > > > I'm back from our almost two weeks in Utah.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2002 Report Share Posted June 27, 2002 --- , when did you have surgery? Because what you described was how I was feeling all of the time after my reconstruction surgery last year. My dr. thought It was due to the fake bone in my ear so they went in and removed it last week. So far I haven't felt too bad. It really is too early to tell though. I had the dizzys and car sickness so bad that I could not function too well. Hope you feel better, Charla.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2002 Report Share Posted June 28, 2002 Charla- I had a radical mastoidectomy in May, '01. I then had surgery in May, '02 to remove the c-toma that had returned as well as a scar band that had formed. I saw the Dr. today for my usual appointment. He said that seemed really strange to him that I would be dizzy and car sick like that. He's not sure what would cause it. Go figure!

Then I got an email message from saying that stuff to me had been bouncing back and they cancelled me from the list until they hear from me. I replied immediately and there was mail this morning. I hope I haven't missed anything. If so, please let me know. Take care everybody. from Italy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 Hi and everybody, There was lots of mail this morning, so I guess most of us were glued to the TV. My best wishes, too, go out to those of you who have dear ones serving in the Middle East. Also wanted to say that I agree with that going back to work for 8 weeks is VERY optimistic - I only had posterior revision surgery (it was a big op, however) and didn't even leave rehab until 8 weeks post-op. Don't want to get you down, but I think you should give yourself extra time for healing. Also, try and get someone to help you those first couple of weeks when you come home from the hospital. It ain't easy, believe me. Good luck. from Italy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since part of my mastoid was removed already - will theydo the same type of removal or will I have to maybe have the one whereI cannot swim?
